TECHNICAL FIELD

The disclosure relates to the technical field of mobile terminals, and more particularly to a sound effect configuration method and a related device.

BACKGROUND

With the increasing popularization of mobile terminal communication products such as mobile phones; a mobile terminal gradually becomes an indispensable communication tool in people's lives. An audio data playing function of the mobile terminal becomes one of basic functions most commonly used by people.

In a present processing technology for sound effect of a mobile terminal, a manufacturer may usually configure a system sound effect mode according to a type of the mobile terminal to play audio streams of various types of applications in combination with a signal processing algorithm and an audio signal processing circuit. However, a parameter of sound effect corresponding to the system sound effect mode is loaded in real time when the mobile terminal plays an audio stream and more memory resources are occupied by the operation of loading an audio parameter, so that the mobile terminal only has fewer idle memory resources to execute an operation of playing the audio stream, which results in an insufficient memory. Therefore, an audio stream playing process is not so fluent, a non-fluency phenomenon easily appears, and a user experience is influenced.

In order to better understand a sound effect configuration method and a mobile terminal disclosed by the embodiments of the disclosure, the embodiments of the disclosure will be introduced below in detail.

Referring to FIG. 1, FIG. 1 illustrates a sound effect configuration method according to an embodiment of the disclosure. As illustrated in FIG. 1, the sound effect configuration method includes the following operations.

In S101, a mobile terminal loads parameters of sound effect in a running memory of the mobile terminal.

In the example, a memory of the mobile terminal includes a running memory and a non-running memory, wherein the running memory refers to a memory for running applications of the mobile terminal and is also called as a Random Access Memory (RAM), and the non-running memory is a memory for storing data and is also called as a Read-Only Memory (ROM). For example, a ROM with a capacity of 8G is a non-running memory with an 8G storage space.

In the example, the parameters of sound effect specifically include at least one of: a Compress parameter, an Amp-Type parameter, an EQ_Bass parameter, an EQ_Mid parameter, an EQ_Treble parameter or a Noise_Gate parameter.

In S102, responsive to detection of a playing control instruction for an audio stream of a target application, the mobile terminal determines whether the parameters of sound effect loaded in the running memory include a parameter of sound effect corresponding to the target application.

In the example, the playing control instruction may be, for example, generated by the mobile terminal when a selection operation for the audio stream of the target application is detected.

The target application may be, for example, an audio and video player, a game application, a call application and the like.

The audio stream may be, for example, a prompt tone, a background sound, a song, a call voice and the like.

In S103, when determining that the parameters of sound effect loaded in the running memory include the parameter of sound effect corresponding to the target application, the mobile terminal reads the parameter of sound effect corresponding to the target application from the running memory.

In S104, the mobile terminal configures the audio stream of the target application by virtue of the corresponding parameter of sound effect.

It can be seen that, compared with a solution in the conventional art that the mobile terminal loads the parameters of sound effect only when the audio stream is played, the embodiment of the disclosure has the following advantages. The mobile terminal loads the parameters of sound effect in advance in the running memory, and when the playing control instruction for the audio stream of the target application is detected and the loaded parameters of sound effect include the parameter of sound effect corresponding to the target application, the mobile terminal reads the parameter of sound effect corresponding to the target application from the running memory and configures the audio stream of the target application by virtue of the corresponding parameter of sound effect. Memory resources of the mobile terminal is prevented from being occupied by an operation of loading a parameter of sound effect while the parameter of sound effect of the audio stream is configured, thereby improving a configuration speed for parameters of sound effect of the mobile terminal, optimizing memory resource management and improving the user experience.

In at least one embodiment, after the operation that the mobile terminal configures the audio stream of the target application by virtue of the corresponding parameter of sound effect, the following operation is further executed.

The mobile terminal plays the audio stream configured with the corresponding parameter of sound effect.

In at least one embodiment, before the operation that the mobile terminal determines whether the parameters of sound effect loaded in the running memory include the parameter of sound effect corresponding to the target application, the following operations are further executed.

The mobile terminal determines whether the mobile terminal prestores an application-level parameter of sound effect of the target application.

When determining that the mobile terminal prestores the application-level parameter of sound effect of the target application, the mobile terminal determines the application-level parameter of sound effect to be the parameter of sound effect corresponding to the target application.

When determining that the mobile terminal fails to prestore the application-level parameter of sound effect of the target application, the mobile terminal determines a global parameter of sound effect of the mobile terminal to be the parameter of sound effect corresponding to the target application.

In the example, the global parameter of sound effect is usually configured by a developer as a factory setting, or, may also be customized by a user in a subsequent using process. The application-level parameter of sound effect refers to a parameter of sound effect customized by the user and dedicated to play the audio stream of the target application. For example, a first application-level parameter of sound effect is configured for a music player of the mobile terminal, a second application-level parameter of sound effect is configured for a game application of the mobile terminal and the like.

It can be understood that the mobile terminal may load the parameters of sound effect in the running memory of the mobile terminal in various implementation manners and there are no unique limits made in the embodiment of the disclosure.

In an embodiment, an implementation manner in which the mobile terminal may load the parameters of sound effect in the running memory of the mobile terminal may be as follows.

Responsive to detecting that system time of the mobile terminal is in a preset idle period, the parameters of sound effect are loaded in the running memory of the mobile terminal. Specifically, the mobile terminal may acquire a prestored sound effect configuration file and load parameters of sound effect in the sound effect configuration file into the running memory of the mobile terminal. The sound effect configuration file at least includes the global parameter of sound effect of the mobile terminal and may further include application-level parameters of sound effect of some applications of the mobile terminal.

Furthermore, before the mobile terminal detects that the system time of the mobile terminal is in the preset idle period, the mobile terminal further executes the following operation.

It is determined a period in which a memory utilization rate of the mobile terminal is lower than a preset threshold value, and the period is determined to be the preset idle period of the mobile terminal. In the example, the memory utilization rate refers to an average memory utilization ratio of the mobile terminal in a preset period, the preset threshold value may be any preset value, for example, 10%, 15% and 20%, and the preset idle period may be, for example, 1:00 to 7:00 and 13:00 to 14:00. For example, memory utilization rates in different periods calculated by the mobile terminal are illustrated in the following table.

Period Memory utilization rate 24:00 to 7:00 15% 7:00 to 9:00 45% 9:00 to 11:30 25% 11:30 to 14:00 78% 14:00 to 17:45 20% 17:45 to 19:00 61% 19:00 to 21:00 15% 21:00 to 23:00 33% 23:00 to 24:00 15%

if the preset threshold value is provided to be 30%, the mobile terminal determines that the preset idle period is a period set formed by the periods 7:00 to 9:00, 11:30 to 14:00, 17:45 to 19:00 and 21:00 to 23:00.

Alternatively, idle period configuration information is acquired, and a period in the idle period configuration information is determined to be the preset idle period of the mobile terminal. In the example, the idle period configuration information may be generated by the mobile terminal responsive to detection of a selection operation of the user for a target period in a drop-down period list displayed by the mobile terminal.

In the two preset idle period determination manners, the former is automatically implemented in a machine learning manner and may determine memory utilization rates in different historical periods more accurately after accumulation of the historical periods, which is accurate and convenient; and the latter allows the user to set the specific periods as preset idle periods, better reflects the subjective cognition of the user and is more applicable to some specific users. Adoption of another manner for achieving the technical purpose may not influence implementation of the embodiment of the disclosure, so that the examples listed above should not be understood as unique limits to the embodiment of the disclosure.

It can be seen that, in at least one embodiments, the mobile terminal is limited to load the parameters of sound effect in advance only in the preset idle period and the preset idle period is the period when the memory utilization rate of the mobile terminal is lower than the preset threshold value. Therefore, the mobile terminal may load the parameters of sound effect in advance only under the condition of sufficient memory resources, thereby avoiding a non-fluency phenomenon of a foreground application of the mobile terminal due to insufficient memory resources and improving application running fluency of the mobile terminal and the user experience.

In another embodiment, the implementation manner in which the mobile terminal loads the parameters of sound effect in the running memory of the mobile terminal may be as follows.

Responsive to detecting that remaining power of the mobile terminal is higher than a preset power threshold value, the parameters of sound effect are loaded in the running memory of the mobile terminal. Specifically, the mobile terminal may acquire the prestored sound effect configuration file and load the parameters of sound effect in the sound effect configuration file into the running memory of the mobile terminal. In the example, the sound effect configuration file at least includes the global parameter of sound effect of the mobile terminal and may further include the application-level parameters of sound effect of some applications of the mobile terminal.

In the example, the preset power threshold value may be any preset value, for example, 10%, 15% and 20%.

It can be seen that, in at least one embodiment, the mobile terminal is limited to load the parameters of sound effect in advance only under the condition of sufficient power, so that a continuous power consumption due to pre-loading of the parameters of sound effect under a low-power condition of the mobile terminal is avoided, which are favorable for prolonging service life of the mobile terminal under the low-power condition and saving power.

In another embodiment, the implementation manner in which the mobile terminal loads the parameters of sound effect in the running memory of the mobile terminal may be as follows.

Responsive to detecting that the mobile terminal is in a charging state, the parameters of sound effect are loaded in the running memory of the mobile terminal. Specifically, the mobile terminal may acquire the prestored sound effect configuration file and load the parameters of sound effect in the sound effect configuration file into the running memory of the mobile terminal, wherein the sound effect configuration file at least includes the global parameter of sound effect of the mobile terminal and may further include the application-level parameters of sound effect of some applications of the mobile terminal.

It can be seen that, in at least on embodiment, the mobile terminal is limited to load the parameters of sound effect in advance only in the charging state, so that the continuous power consumption of the mobile terminal due to pre-loading of the parameters of sound effect is avoided, which are favorable for improving power management efficiency of the mobile terminal and saving power.

Referring to FIG. 2, FIG. 2 is a flowchart of another sound effect configuration method according to an embodiment of the disclosure, which is consistent with the embodiment illustrated in FIG. 1. As illustrated in FIG. 2, the sound effect configuration method includes the following operations.

In S201, a mobile terminal loads parameters of sound effect in a running memory of the mobile terminal.

In S202, the mobile terminal determines whether the mobile terminal prestores an application-level parameter of sound effect of a target application.

In S203, when determining that the mobile terminal prestores the application-level parameter of sound effect of the target application, the mobile terminal determines the application-level parameter of sound effect to be a parameter of sound effect corresponding to the target application.

In S204, responsive to detection of a playing control instruction for an audio stream of the target application, the mobile terminal determines whether the parameters of sound effect loaded in the running memory include the application-level parameter of sound effect corresponding to the target application.

In S205, when determining that the parameters of sound effect loaded in the running memory include the application-level parameter of sound effect corresponding to the target application, the mobile terminal reads the application-level parameter of sound effect corresponding to the target application from the running memory.

In S206, the mobile terminal configures the audio stream of the target application by virtue of the corresponding parameter of sound effect.

In S207, the mobile terminal plays the audio stream configured with the application-level parameter of sound effect.

It can be seen that, compared with a solution in the conventional art that the mobile terminal loads the parameter of sound effect only when the audio stream is played, the embodiment of the disclosure has the following advantages. The mobile terminal loads the parameters of sound effect in advance in the running memory, and when the playing control instruction for the audio stream of the target application is detected and the loaded parameters of sound effect include the parameter of sound effect corresponding to the target application, the mobile terminal reads the parameter of sound effect corresponding to the target application from the running memory and configures the audio stream of the target application by virtue of the corresponding parameter of sound effect. Memory resources of the mobile terminal is prevented from being occupied by an operation of loading a parameter of sound effect while the parameter of sound effect of the audio stream is configured, thereby improving a configuration speed for parameters of sound effect of the mobile terminal, optimizing memory resource management and improving the user experience.

Referring to FIG. 3, FIG. 3 is a flowchart of another sound effect configuration method according to an embodiment of the disclosure, which is consistent with the embodiments illustrated in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2. As illustrated in FIG. 3, the sound effect configuration method includes the following operations.

In S301, responsive to detecting that system time of a mobile terminal is in a preset idle period, the mobile terminal loads parameters of sound effect in a running memory of the mobile terminal.

In S302, the mobile terminal determines whether the mobile terminal prestores an application-level parameter of sound effect of a target application.

In S303, when determining that the mobile terminal fails to prestore the application-level parameter of sound effect of the target application, the mobile terminal determines a global parameter of sound effect of the mobile terminal to be a parameter of sound effect corresponding to the target application.

In S304, responsive to detection of a playing control instruction for an audio stream of the target application, the mobile terminal determines whether the parameters of sound effect loaded in the running memory include the global parameter of sound effect corresponding to the target application.

In S306, the mobile terminal configures the audio stream of the target application by virtue of the global parameter of sound effect.

In S307, the mobile terminal plays the audio stream configured with the global parameter of sound effect.

It can be seen that, compared with a solution in the conventional art that the mobile terminal loads the parameter of sound effect only when the audio stream is played, the embodiment of the disclosure has the following advantages. The mobile terminal loads the parameters of sound effect in advance in the running memory, and when the playing control instruction for the audio stream of the target application is detected and the loaded parameters of sound effect include the parameter of sound effect corresponding to the target application, the mobile terminal reads the parameter of sound effect corresponding to the target application from the running memory and configures the audio stream of the target application by virtue of the corresponding parameter of sound effect. Memory resources of the mobile terminal is prevented from being occupied by an operation of loading a parameter of sound effect while the parameter of sound effect of the audio stream is configured, thereby improving a configuration speed for parameters of sound effect of the mobile terminal, optimizing memory resource management and improving the user experience.

In addition, according to the embodiment of the disclosure, the mobile terminal is limited to load the parameters of sound effect in advance only in the preset idle period and the preset idle period is a period when a memory utilization rate of the mobile terminal is lower than a preset threshold value. Therefore, the mobile terminal may load the parameters of sound effect in advance only under the condition of sufficient memory resources, thereby avoiding a non-fluency phenomenon of a foreground application of the mobile terminal due to insufficient memory resources and improving application running fluency of the mobile terminal and the user experience.

Specifically, a processor 101 may call an executable program code in a memory 102 to load the parameters of sound effect in the running memory of the mobile terminal.

It can be seen that, compared with a solution in the conventional art that the mobile terminal loads the parameter of sound effect only when the audio stream is played, the embodiment of the disclosure has the following advantages.
